Rancher - I make apple sauce by just cooking the apples down with some sugar ( You can also make great apple bombs too - core put on try fill inside with sugar blast in oven and wait for them to explode cover in custard -or ice cream Yum!!!! You can put rasins and sultanas in them too!) - back to the sauce - sometimes I put peaches into it and sometimes I put cinnamon but not all folk like that.
Basically I just cook the apple down with some peaches wait for them to go cold and blend together with a little sugar then put in fridge to go really cold!!!! Apple and peach sauce is lovely over Pork roast!!!!! Especially if it was cooked in Peach juice and honey glazed!
As for the Cider - your talking to a west-country girl the only way I know of saving it is DRINK IT!!!!!!!!!!
- Years ago (Proper scrumpy!) used to be kept in Lead lined stone jars! Then they discovered lead poisoning. That is actually where the " Village Idiot" came from. They were lads who drank the poisoned Cider from the lead lined vats and ended up with brain damage! - These days it is of course better drank for - well health and safety reasons!!!
Real Cider would strip the varnish off furniture!
Anyhow Rancher try this site it may help some - http://www.cider.org.uk/content2.htm
It is a cider workshop site. Haven;t read it all but it looks ok.
You lot will think I am daft!!!! Last night I went out in the yard to call the cat in. - ok I am soft in the head but temperatures here are now -4 at night and he is old.
So here I am like a right idiot calling the darn cat in bitter cold winds in my night robe, when I see him on the lawn doing something odd. I imediately think oh he must have found the frog from up the vag patch I saw - I didn;t want him killing the frog so I went up to were he was and put my hand down on what I thought was something hopping about. Instantly I knew it was not the frog !!!! I grabed it up and brought it into the light of the sun room. It was furry!!!!!!! IT was a baby mouse!!!! I am the biggest softest idiot on the plannet. I gently looked it over for any injuries, it was sooo wee and barely out of the nest and really frightened!!! So here I am with this little tiny baby in my hands and guys I can;t kill babies!!! its just not right is it???? I mean if it was a fully grown adult fare game!!! So I did the only thing any stupid person would do - I put it in the chicken run with Gerty! And all that darn food that keeps getting stolen. So here I am after trying to rid my house of mice and my shed of mice and my chicken run of mice and Gertys bum of mice! ( The Hen that thinks they are chicks!) and I am adding to them!!!! I try to get the old saggy stupid mog to go catch the things and when he does what do I do Rescue them!!!!
So you can all give me a good telling off - yeah I know it will grow up and breed and I will be over run with thousands of the darn critters! - But it was a baby!!!!
- just shoot me now!!!!!!!! Before I get eaten alive in my bed by them. Found a heap of mouse droppings behind a photo in the hall tonight!!!!! Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!! They actually sit and watch me from behind photos now!!!! I really must get a handle on this war against rodents thing?
